Bailey and Friends

The pictures are just lovely Susan. I can totally see spending cold winters in a place so beautiful and refreshing. No snow and salt everywhere. I know it's coming, on it's way even, and while cool is nice, I don't want to close the pool, like Addy even if not swimming I just like to see it, to be near the water, even in the fall.
My friends parents spend their Christmas here and then head out after new years sometime to Palm Springs for the winter months. Then the family go down there to join them on spring break. That is like the best of everything because you get the snow for christmas and then get to skip the horrid, january/febuary cold weather.

*sigh* Some day we too might get to do that!

popping in to say hi and let you know I am thinking of you:)

Well did you gals enjoy the cruise? Did you handle the seas okay on the way to Bermuda? They were kind of bouncy. I like that, myself. It was smooth as ice on the return trip.

The trip was a bit disappointing. The first two sea days were chilly and the first full tour day it poured on us and we got drenched. We did not see much besides some of the beaches, the pastel color houses and a lot of curvy roads. It's a tiny island and I don't know if we missed something or if what we saw is all there is to see.

We're all settled in now and now we can concentrate on gearing up for the holidays and the the first big trip to FL. To answer your question Addy, we will leave right around January 1st. We will be here to celebrate Christmas with Ryan. He usually takes several days off and we will need to pack up from the Christmas decorations before we can get under way.

It'll be interesting to see how Bailey does on that trip.
Hugs and love,

Had a great time on the cruise, bouncing around all over the place. I feel like I didn't even get to see you at all!!!!! :eek:

Bummer about the weather when you are trying to see as much as possible. :(

I'm sure Bailey will just love her new place to "over winter". LOL Hopefully the trip there and back will be fine for her too.

Home just in time for all those lovely fall colors and the briskness to the air. Time to change the color palette! Oranges and reds and browns, yellow, good times!

Okay Sharlene............pack your bags.......we leave Wednesday for the condo.....and we're taking Bailey, so be sure and pack/bring a towel to cover yourself!!!:eek: We never used the Dramamine for the cruise, so we're all set for the car ride....just need to cut the pills in half.

When we return, the place should have new carpet in the bedrooms, maybe a new refrigerator and maybe shower doors, plus all the kitchen shelves lined and a few pictures hung. Anybody want a dresser or an old bed and a very ugly lamp? They're going out! And I hope to get my bike reassembled. If things go as planned, this is when things start to get exciting and it really starts to shape up. This extra trip down will make January so much more pleasant. With both of us there a lot should get accomplished.

What time is dinner Sharlene? It sounds absolutely to die for!! I'll even help clean the dishes!!:D:D:) Have a great weekend!

HUGS!

Susan

Ohhhh yay, a trip, a trip!!! whoo hooo!! bathing suit is packed! Starting to get a bit chilly here, so good timing!

Oh that will be so nice to get things ready before January. Nice! By the time January gets here, you'll be all set. I bet Bailey is going to love it! Hopefully she'll do fine on the car ride down. This is her first long road trip?

My golden retriever use to love long rides. I took her all across the country. She was great. Tipsy (the cat) wasn't quite as impressed, but he tolerated it well as long as he could see me from his car crate. They both did awesome in hotels, not barking or carrying on at all. errrr molly is not a good traveler or good at hotels.

Dinner is whatever time you get here :) LOLOLOL

I'm ready for a nice trip to the condo. Packed my bags, ready to go.

I hope there are a couple girlie drinks waiting for us:D:D:D:D:D

How many bottles of beer on the wall? Are we there yet?

Uh-oh....the car's gettin' crowded. Someone may have to ride with Bailey in her crate. Shall I bring the dominoes? We're taking along these glasses we have here but haven't been using. They are tall, cylinders and the insides narrow down to a fine point at the bottom. Pour your oj and/or whatever you fancy down in there and it looks really cool. Top it off with an umbrella, sit on the lanai and watch the golfer's miss their balls.....dressed in your shorts.......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!:):D
Love,
Sus/an

Well-we survived the car trip here! No one got sick. Bailey was mostly on Mom's lap/shoulder/chest. She lasted in the back seat for one hour and then decided......I don't THINK so!!! It was really okay. I was chilly and she was warm and comfy.

Once here, she barked at every noise, all the golf carts and the irrigation. She seem un phased by geckos and hasn't figured out what those herons are. She has not seen the alligator sunning himself over on the bank and later sunning with his mouth WIDE OPEN,!!

It's been very productive so far, but no fun....I've got to find a way to change that. The weather has been gorgeous. Looks like we'll be here a full 3 weeks. The guest bathroom is almost completely transformed and cleaned up. New toilet, new shower curtain, new shower curtain rod, new bath mat, new cabinet pulls, old nail polish spill cleaned up off floor, caulking redone, and new light fixture purchased and an attempt will be made to see if we can install that ourselves. New rugs. Looking good. At least there is one room we can walk in, close the door and it looks like "us."

Nighty nite.

Sus/an

That sounds really productive but you need to mix in some fun!!!:D:D
l'm impressed you could put in a new toilet. I'm no good with plumbing except to install faucets.

Maybe dinner at the club house and watch the sunset would add some fun:):):)

How long does it take to drive down? I'm glad to hear Bailey was a good girl.

Enjoy your monday!
